A home network is a great way for your
household to share files and resources
among multiple PCs, but network
annoyances |
|
creep up
in places you'd never expect.
Fortunately, Bay Town Network has
developed solutions to help overcome
some common issues. |
|
|
|
If you experience
any trouble with your wireless network,
please read and follow these
instructions. Many times following
this |
|
advice
can solve your problems. |
|
|
|
|
|
Problem: Cannot access
network/Internet from any computer on
the network? |
|
Solution: Power down all
computer on the network. Unplug
both the DSL/Cable modem and router.
Wait a few minutes. Plug in the
DSL/Cable modem. Wait until the
lights on the DSL/Cable modem stop
flashing. This could take up to a
minute. After the lights stop
flashing on the DSL/Cable modem, plug
the router back in.
Again, wait until the lights stop
flashing on the router. Power on
any computer on the network. This
is known as power cycling your modem
and this can often restore connectivity. |

|
Problem: Cannot
access network from one computer when
all other computers work fine? |
|
Solution: Try shutting
down the computer and restarting.
If that computer is a laptop try moving
it closer to the Access Point. If
this solves the problem you are having
signal interference, which can be
caused, by many things including leaded
glass and metal reinforced concrete
walls or floors or simply your computer is to far away
from the Access Point. |

|
Problem: How do
I boost my wireless signal to a weak
area of the house? |
|
Solution: Buy a wireless
repeater. These devices allow you
to extend the wireless networking signal
much farther from the original base
station. Contact us for the latest
pricing of wireless repeaters. |
| |
|
Problem: I have
a 2.4 GHz wireless telephone; will it
interfere with my wireless system? |
|
Solution: 2.4 GHz wireless
phones can cause interference, with your
wireless network. Normally
symptoms will be sudden loss of wireless
connectivity when the phone is in
use or drastically reduced speeds.
If any of these things occur you can try
changing the channel on your phone.
Hang up the pone and pick it up again.
This will usually force the phone to use
a different channel. Some phones
have a "CHANNEL" button near the keypad, allowing you to
reset the channel used by the phone. |
